Lyft seems like a great candidate for Tesla to acquire and eventually replace with their autonomous fleet. But Elon is busy winning the culture wars atm.

- nathanaldensr 4y agoWhat autonomous fleet? Such a thing does not exist, nor will it in the foreseeable future.
- efficax 4y agoThere's little reason currently to think that fully autonomous vehicles are just around the corner, and even less reason to think that Tesla will be the company that gets there first, given the lack of LiDAR on Teslas. Musk's twitter gambit is focusing on the real engine of his wealth, public relations.
- curiousDog 4y agoIndeed, meant to say he should acquire this if he's at all serious about the autonomous/robo taxi thing becoming a reality but we all know it's hot-air for the foreseeable future. But kind of the premise based on which these companies thought their unit economics would eventually work out.
- hey2022 4y agoWhy would they spend billions on buying a taxi app? If they had an autonomous fleet (which they obviously won’t for a very long time), they could just build an app for that? That seems like a much smaller problem to solve than autonomous driving.
